Parquet Floor Restoration Specialists

At Mr Sander®, we master the art of parquet floor restoration. Our method includes using the robust 250mm x 750mm Bona Belt, paired with the Bona DSC70 Dust extraction system. This rigorous process begins with a coarse 36g sandpaper, moving through 60g and 80g, finally leading to the Bona 1.9 Flexisand’s refined touch with 120g and 150g screen mesh. The result is a flawless finish and an awe-inspiring final look.

The tradition of parquet flooring originates from the magnificent palaces of 17th-century France. Its uniquely captivating mosaic designs found their way into numerous UK homes from the 1930s to the 1970s. Many remember spending countless hours on these robust, yet gracefully aged parquet floors during their school years.

Such historical and enduring pieces deserve nothing but the utmost care and respect. Our team at Mr Sander® brings expertise and craftsmanship to breathe new life into even the most worn and neglected parquet floors, whether solid or engineered.

Our comprehensive service begins with a thorough evaluation of your floor. If we find missing or damaged blocks, there’s no need to worry. We’ll find the perfect replacement from our extensive network of suppliers across the country. If necessary, we can even customise these blocks to fit your floor, as showcased in our restoration project of a 1930s office building in London. After removing any remnants of old bitumen and leveling the floor, we install the 295mm x 92mm solid pine blocks.

The restoration journey continues with sanding the entire surface using progressively finer grit sandpaper (24 grit, 40 grit, 60 grit, 80 grit, and 120 grit) to remove any traces of old varnish or lacquer. We buff the floor using the heavyweight Lagler 78kg Trio sander with an additional 10 kg weight for an even smoother finish.

You can opt for a clear stain to highlight the natural wood grain or a coloured one to complement your interior design. We finish the floor with four coats of Bona’s Traffic HD lacquer in satin for a durable finish with a 45% sheen reflection. Alternatively, for a more natural look, we offer Osmo, Blanchon, Treatex hard wax, or Junckers natural oil in matte or satin finish.

The result? A parquet floor that not only matches its original splendour but surpasses it, leaving a lasting impression on your staff, guests, and customers.

Our floor restoration service isn’t just about making your floor functional again; it’s about bringing out the beauty of your solid parquet flooring that has been hidden under years of use and wear. To give you a clearer picture of the transformations we carry out, we provide before and after images that allow you to see the dramatic difference our expert touch makes.

In the ‘before’ images, you will see the original state of the engineered parquet floor. This might include visible damage such as scuff marks, scratches, old bitumen, or discolouration from years of foot traffic and exposure to sunlight. In some cases, you might notice missing or damaged blocks that disrupt the overall pattern of the parquet.

The ‘after’ images showcase the floor following our thorough restoration process. Here, you’ll notice the damage has been expertly addressed, the blocks are uniform, and the whole floor boasts a clean, polished look. The protective finish enhances the grain of the wood and complements the property’s interiors. The results speak for themselves – a beautiful, durable exotic parquet floor ready to withstand years of use while maintaining its charm and elegance.

Our before and after images aren’t just proof of our craftsmanship; they are a visual representation of our commitment to quality and our passion for transforming worn-out floors into stunning centre pieces of your home or office.
